Cannabis Vegan Oat Cookies
Chewy cannabis-infused vegan oat cookies with raisins and cinnamon, made with cannabis-infused coconut oil for a wholesome plant-based edible treat.
This cannabis cannabis vegan oat cookies recipe uses cannabis-infused coconut oil as a plant-based fat to create a perfectly baked vegan edible at 350°F / 175°C. Vegan cannabis baking proves you do not need dairy butter to make incredible edibles. Coconut oil is an exceptional THC carrier with even higher saturated fat content than butter, making it ideal for potent plant-based baked goods. These chewy cannabis vegan oat cookies are naturally sweetened with maple syrup and infused with cannabis coconut oil for a wholesome edible treat.
- 3.5 grams of cannabis-infused coconut oil, melted
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted cannabis-infused coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in raisins.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Makes approximately 16 cookies. Divide batch evenly for consistent dosing.
Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis Vegan Oat Cookies
- Cannabis coconut oil is the vegan baker's best friend. Its high saturated fat content extracts THC as effectively as dairy butter.
- Measure cannabis-infused coconut oil by weight rather than volume for accuracy since coconut oil density changes with temperature.
- Start with 5-10 mg per serving. Vegan baked goods may digest slightly faster due to the absence of dairy proteins.
- Use a flax egg or chia egg to bind without dairy, which does not affect THC distribution.
- Cannabis coconut oil is melted into the wet ingredients, ensuring each cookie contains an equal dose.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Substituting cannabis coconut oil 1:1 for butter without adjusting liquid content. Coconut oil has no water content unlike butter which is about 15% water.
- Overmixing vegan batters with coconut oil creates a dense, heavy texture. Mix until just combined.
- Baking at too high a temperature because vegan batters brown differently. Stick to 350°F / 175°C and watch closely.
- Using refined coconut oil and missing out on flavor. Unrefined has a natural sweetness that enhances many vegan bakes.
How to Store Cannabis Vegan Oat Cookies
- Vegan cannabis baked goods often keep slightly longer than dairy ones because coconut oil is shelf-stable. Store airtight for up to a week.
- Freeze for up to 3 months. Vegan baked goods defrost well since there are no dairy proteins to degrade.
- Keep at room temperature unless the recipe contains perishable vegan cream cheese or similar ingredients.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Variations & Ideas
- Use cannabis-infused vegan butter sticks for a direct 1:1 swap in any traditional baked goods recipe.
- Add cannabis coconut oil to raw vegan desserts like date balls, no-bake bars, and raw cheesecakes for heat-free infusion.
- Blend cannabis oil with aquafaba for a whipped, light texture in vegan cannabis mousse and meringues.
- Swap raisins for dark chocolate chips, or add shredded coconut and dried cranberries.
Frequently Asked Questions
For extraction purposes, coconut oil wins due to higher saturated fat content. For baking texture, vegan butter sticks perform more like dairy butter with a similar water content and melting point. You can infuse either, but many prefer baking with vegan butter and using coconut oil for other applications.
Avocado oil works in some recipes but it does not solidify at room temperature, which limits its baking applications. It is better as a drizzle or in raw recipes. For baked goods that need a solid fat, stick with cannabis coconut oil or vegan butter.
Dairy can mask cannabis flavor somewhat, so some vegan edibles do have a slightly more noticeable herbal taste. Counter this with strong flavors like chocolate, coffee, spices, or citrus. Well-strained cannabis coconut oil has a relatively mild flavor.
Absolutely. THC binds to fat regardless of its animal or plant origin. Cannabis coconut oil actually has slightly higher extraction efficiency than butter due to its higher saturated fat percentage. Potency depends entirely on your infusion, not whether it is vegan.
Flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water), chia eggs, commercial egg replacer, aquafaba, or mashed banana all work. None of these affect THC content. Choose based on flavor and texture needs. Flax and chia add mild nutty flavors that complement cannabis well.
